Shortly before the summer season, public hospital workers are reporting significant shortages in essential medical specialties in health centers and hospitals on the Greek islands. They are calling upon the next government to prioritize the staffing of these positions.

“The staffing problem is worsening by the day,” says Michalis Giannakos, president of the union representing Greek public hospital staff (POEDIN). “How can nurses be interested in a job at an island hospital or health center with a monthly salary of €800 when their place of residence is in another area? Rent and food costs alone far exceed their salaries,” he explains.

--- Quote ---Ancient Greek coin sells for record price at Swiss auction

A rare ancient Greek coin fetched a record-breaking six million dollars at an auction held on May 19 at the Numismatica Ars Classica auction house in Zurich.

The 2,400-year-old gold stater, minted around 340–25 B.C.E., was bought by a private collector, Artnet Magazine reported.

Known as a Panticapaeum stater, after the ancient Greek city in modern-day Crimea, it features a wide-eyed satyr on the obverse and that of a griffin gripping a spear in its beak on the reverse.

The high price is attributed to the coin’s quality, rarity, and the fact the supply of similar specimens is extremely limited.
